Friday Oct 03, 2025
Simi Cheema talks to director and actor Harris Dickinson, about his new film Urchin.
Urchin is the stunning directorial debut from Harris Dickinson, powered by an outstanding, award-winning performance from Frank Dillane.
Mike (Dillane), a rough sleeper on the streets of London, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around. Moving between short-term jobs and small-time hustles, he must balance the hopeful rush of a fresh start with a past that is holding him back.
By turns exhilarating and poetic, Urchin is a bold, vibrant and utterly unmissable portrait of life on the margins.

Friday Oct 03, 2025
Sam Clements talks to director Benny Safdie about his new film, The Smashing Machine, starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, in cinemas now.
From director Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems, Good Time) comes The Smashing Machine: the tumultuous rise-and-fall story of legendary mixed martial arts champion Mark Kerr (Dwayne Johnson), his rocky marriage to model Dawn Staples (a predictably excellent Emily Blunt), and the unexpected devastation of an ultimate champion facing defeat.
Dwayne Johnson's colossal emotional and physical performance is a sure-fire starter pistol for awards buzz, as he delivers a brutally vulnerable, heavyweight portrayal of the struggles of a sporting icon.

Sam Clements talks to Justin Tipping about his new film, HIM, in cinemas now.
From Oscar® winner Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, producers of the landmark horror films Get Out, Us, Candyman and Nope, comes a blood-chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, power and the pursuit of excellence at any cost
From an acclaimed Black List screenplay by Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie (creators of the sci-fi crime series Limetown), HIM centers on a promising young football player, invited to train at the isolated compound of a dynasty team’s aging QB1.
Marlon Wayans stars in an electrifying dramatic role as the legendary quarterback, and former college athlete Tyriq Withers (I Know What You Did Last Summer, Atlanta) plays his protégé.
The film also stars Julia Fox (Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move), Tim Heidecker (First Time Female Director, Us), comedian Jim Jefferies (The Jim Jefferies Show), and hip hop phenoms Guapdad 4000 and Grammy nominee Tierra Whack, both in their feature film debuts.

Whether you're new to Alfred Hitchcock, or a big enough fan to know your Sabotage from your Saboteur, a season of his movies on the big screen is an unmissable event for film fans.
There's nothing like the action of North By Northwest unfolding on a grand canvas, or the Psycho score screeching out at high volume, to demonstrate Hitchcock's uncanny ability to manipulate sound and images to create unforgettable cinematic experiences.
Picturehouse's Hitchcock season boasts seven stone-cold classics from the director's American period at all our cinemas, plus three of his best British bangers at selected sites…
